Emergency Equipment and Preparedness for Medical Emergency MEDICAL EMERGENCY: One or more of the following signs or symptoms may identify an impending medical emergency:

Pallor •Chest pain

Vertigo •Shortness of breath

Faintness •Change in voice tone

Perspiration •Incoherence

Nausea •Severe headache

Hives •Stupor Follow these steps when an impending medical emergency is identified: 1. Stop all dental treatment if applicable. 2. Begin basic life support if indicated. 3. Send for nearest clinical faculty member and nearest emergency cart. To request “Essential 4. Monitor and record vital signs. 5. Activate “EMS” using 9-911 (hit the # button after it will automatically connect without any pause) if directed by the clinical faculty member. 6. Send available personnel to SOD first and second floor entrances to direct “EMS” team to location upon arrival. 7. Notify anyone accompanying patient or individual designated as emergency contact. 8. Describe medical emergency completely in dental patient record, if applicable, and report incident to Assistant Dean for Clinical Affairs within twenty-four hours using on line occurrence report. It is essential that all students and personnel know the locations of UMMC SOD emergency carts and defibrillators. Each medical emergency cart has a defibrillator and must be placed in its assigned location at all times. Each dental clinic has immediate access to an emergency cart. One cart, located in the faculty practice, services the first floor. A cart located in the Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery suite services the second floor and the Oral-Maxillofacial Radiology clinic. Two emergency carts are located on the third floor, one between the Orthodontic and Pediatric and Public Health Dentistry clinics and the other between the Endodontic and Periodontics and Preventive Sciences clinics. Two emergency carts are located on the fourth floor, one between the Operative/ODX/Admissions and Fixed /Removable clinics and the other between the SHRP Dental Hygiene and AGD/GPR clinics. Broken seals on emergency carts, indicating that a cart has been used, must be reported immediately to the Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery staff who regularly maintain the carts to ensure that all drugs and supplies are current and up to date. FIRE EMERGENCY: The following School of Dentistry Fire Emergency Policies and Procedure augments the general fire safety program outlined in the Medical Center's Safety Program.

15

Fire Emergency Procedure – Rescue, Alert, Confine, Extinguish The School of Dentistry building should be vacated completely of all persons when a fire alarm is activated. All fire doors in the building will close areas off in order to contain the fire. Primary and secondary fire marshals have been assigned on both the north and south sides of the building to ensure that the building has been completely vacated. North and south fire marshals will meet at the central stairwell and verify that their areas have been evacuated and the fire, if present, has been confined. If fire is blocking the central stairwell entrance, then the meeting will take place at the west stairwell entrance. Fire marshals will also ensure that handicapped people that cannot descend the stairs are placed inside the east or west stairwell with a responsible adult. Both the east and west stairwells have a one and a half-hour fire rated doors and the stairwells have two-hour fire rated walls. Information about handicapped persons in the stairwell will be given to the fire brigade in parking lot #20. Persons on the first and second floors should vacate through any exit. All other persons should exit by the stairwells located on the east and west sides of the building. Elevators must never be used during a fire emergency. All exited persons should move to parking lot #20 directly in front of the School of Dentistry building. Primary and secondary fire marshals are to report clearance directly to the Assistant Dean for Clinical Affairs or designee in parking lot #20 as each floor is cleared. Primary and secondary fire marshals on each floor must ensure that all persons have vacated the area, there is an orderly process of vacating the building and that patients are properly instructed and guided. Dial 46666 on any UMMC phone (#601-984-6666 on a cellular phone) to report a fire and give location of the fire. Dialing ext. 46666 will alert the Medical Center Safety Unit, who in turn will alert the fire department and send a fire brigade to the scene. Use the red telephone in each clinical area, dialing 311 to page – speak clearly and slowly – to announce “Dr. Red” and give the floor location of the fire. Activate the fire alarm to report a fire. Each floor of the School of Dentistry has three alarms and each person should be familiar with the location of the fire alarm nearest to him or her. Activating a fire alarm automatically signals both the Medical Center Safety Unit and the city fire department. Confine the area by closing the door to the area where the fire is along with any adjacent doors in the vicinity of the area. If there is no eminent danger to the person where the fire is located, and if in the event of minor incidents, such as a fire in a trash receptacle, one may choose not to activate the fire alarm and extinguish the fire by utilizing the fire extinguishers which are located throughout the School of Dentistry building. The UMMC fire brigade will investigate to ensure that no further hazards exist; therefore, ext. 46666 should be notified. An all clear will be announced by the Assistant Dean for Clinical Affairs or designee when it is safe to return to building. All occupants of the building should not return to their abandoned workplaces until the all-clear announcement has been made.

16

TORNADO EMERGENCY: Tornado Safety Policy It is the policy of the University Hospitals and Clinics to provide personnel, students, physicians, patients, and visitors with a specific plan of action designed to provide optimum safety in the event of tornado activity. Definitions A tornado watch is in effect when weather conditions in the area are such that a tornado could develop. A tornado warning is in effect when a funnel shaped cloud or tornado has been sighted in the area. Procedure Clinical Affairs personnel monitor alerts by the National Weather Alert Service during times of pending inclement weather. The NWAS will sound an alarm throughout the Jackson area when a tornado warning has been issued. Precautionary Measures Following an announcement of a tornado warning, all persons on the fifth floor of the School of Dentistry should move to lower floors. All persons already on floors lower than fifth should move immediately to offices, central hallways, and closed operatories away from windows where there is no danger from glass or flying objects. Fire marshals will ensure that all areas are cleared and personnel are moved to lower floors or are in areas where there is no danger from glass or flying objects. Responsible Agents Faculty must ensure compliance with this policy in their respective areas. All Clear An all clear will be announced by the Assistant Dean for Clinical Affairs or his designee when a tornado emergency has officially ended. All occupants of the building should not return to their abandoned workplaces until the all-clear announcement has been made. Other Emergencies Earthquakes, bomb threats, or any other conditions which could compromise the safety of the School of Dentistry building and its occupants will be announced and applicable instructions will accompany the announcement.
